I should have stated that is was a 1/2 inch ratchet about 16 inches
long with a 18-mm deep socket on the end of it. I was laying on my back
pulling down on it when it slipped. Ok Ok I learned my lesson. After
the hit I rolled out from under the dak, stopped the bleeding to the
most part. Now I know they sell red rags at auto stores! Then called
Cindy on the cell phone to come out and help me. She put the tools and
crap into the garage while I finished what I had to at the time. Went
in side, washed it out and bandaged it up. took some pain killers.
